Pros:

I arrived three hours late due to a problem with public transport. I was tired, cold and hungry. As I wasn't leaving till late the next day the receptionist gave me a late check out free of charge. She sorted everything to make me comfortable. Very friendly and helpful. Love staying here.

Great place to stay when on an early flight
Pros:

Ease of check-in/check-out

Cons:

Feel the hallways are looking a little tired and the carpets could do with a good clean/renewing. Room had a couple of broken tiles that just let it down.

Great room. Shame about the service
Pros:

The hotel was great, online check in was easy, the room was spotlessly clean, large and great value for money. The bed was very comfortable. Just what you need before an early flight.

Cons:

We had issues getting in from the carpark, the door was locked as it was around 10pm and no one responded to the bell so another guest let us in. The receptionist greeted us with ‘I hope you didn’t want any food as you’re too late’, so might need some customer service training.
